HELSINKI (Reuters) - A Finnish squirrel with a sweet tooth heads to a Finnish grocery shop at least twice a day to steal "Kinder Surprise" chocolate-shelled eggs.

"I named it the Kinder-squirrel, after the treats. It always goes after them, other sweets do not seem to interest it as much," the manager of the store in Jyvaskyla, central Finland, told Reuters.

The confectionary, which is intended for children, has a toy inside.

"It removes the foil carefully, eats the chocolate and leaves the store with the toy," Irene Lindroos said.

Unfortunately, the bushy-tailed thief does not clean up after itself, but leaves the wrappers behind, she added.

Squirrels have a well deserved reputation for being clever and adaptable animals. Many a home owner has seen the small rodents raiding their supposedly "squirrel-proof" bird feeders.



Around the Network

I would like to say that's old news, but since it's new news around this site...
The squirrel used to steal bread from retirement home, before its career as a shoplifter. That animal also waits at the shops door to customer to open the door and after that runs to the chocolate.

Funny squirrels at Jyväskylä. :)



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Even squirrels are superior in Finland!

Ooh, my home town. Gotta go hunt this guy down. =P

(Jyväskylä is actually very easy to pronounce btw. All you need to do is be a native Finnish speaker.)
